Skate Park is a dream boat. and Shannon the Cannon is truly intimidating.

Advice for new skaters?

Derby is a marathon and not a sprint. You must take care of yourself both mentally and physically to be able to endure. I encourage you to skate with everyone, everywhere: play with different leagues, attend boot camps, participate in drop-in skates, and do raw meat. Hit the skate park, try speed skating, play hockey, skate outside. All of the things. When you open up your perception of derby, it grows. Your understanding and skills will improve massively.

Anything else to tell us?
